See the upstream discussion on this on the systemd list. Not everyone
will like to use this by default as it does take a lot longer to enter
the suspend state which might not be favoured by everyone, especially
those with rotating media and a lot of working RAM.

So options are essential here, but I agree, that this should be a
configurable option for those that want it.
